Where does closure reside

What does it feel like to be alive Is there a continuum of freedom? A plethora of pleasant emotions? Is it the feeling of wind beneath your arms soaring, higher, higher, evermore I've always wondered what bliss feels like Is it a gentle touch on your cheek? A delicious meal? The "just right" words that reside in your soul? Is it standing on your own two feet Knowing at any minute you could be knocked down But for now...you're up How does one express the feeling of love Do tears speak Does laughter embrace For if it does We've all been touched Is it the simple things Which add up to the complexities of life? The applause at a funeral The celebration of life, the mourning When we leave this life Where do we find liveliness, bliss and love Less it be inside us all along A seed, turning to a bud
